I think most of you know by now how much I adore animals, particularly dogs. Certainly, my regular readers will anyway. A dog truly is a mans best friend. That is why I could not read the first two articles all the way through. I find such horror stories far too upsetting to do so. You have no Idea the utter contempt and hatred that I have for cunts like these people. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I would do to these people exactly what they did to the poor dogs. They are sick, sick fuckers who have no part to play in my world.

I hope both the dogs in these two stories never suffer another day for the rest of their lives.

I am absolutely disgusted that the punishment dished out to the three cunts who starved their poor dog to the extent that it tried to eat his own bed amounts to no more than a slap on the wrist… Nowhere near good enough.

If they didn’t want the poor thing, they should have dropped it off at a dog pound for fucks sake. Even if the poor fucker had been put down, it would have been preferable to the misery those lowlife scumbags put it through.

I also see that one of the slags is pregnant. If the shithouse can stand by and let a poor defenceless animal suffer in that way, what hope is there for her poor child?

In regard to the third story about an Italian Zoo that can’t afford to feed its animals any more; If it does come to the crunch, then I am sure that the Animals will be found homes in other Zoo’s. Or at least I hope they fucking will. However, once again, we have only ourselves to blame for letting the Banksters drive our countries into poverty. The UK is not far behind Italy, Greece and the other EU Countries facing financial meltdown.

And while I know that there are far far worse acts of cruelty and inhumane treatment happening to Human Beings in the world, I am afraid that cruelty to Animals ranks alongside cruelty to children in my book. Animals do not feel less pain than Humans when they are being abused. Therefore I would punish all perpetrators of cruelty in the same way. Cruelty is cruelty.

I really do believe that as long as cunts like these people are free to live amongst us, then we are doomed as a species… Fucking vermin slags.

Pit bull that had legs amputated after horrific abuse, will be in court to see its tormentors stand trial for animal cruelty (after being fitted with a dog wheelchair)

A pit bull that had its front legs amputated after suffering horrific abuse will be in court to see its alleged tormentors stand trial for animal cruelty and torture tomorrow.

Court officials in Crescent City, California, are allowing the dog into the courtroom at the trial of young couple, Zachary Hinton and Sarah Anderson, both 20, accused of inflicting injuries so severe vets had to remove its legs.

The one-year-old dog, called London, was discovered to have both front legs broken with the fractures untreated, as well as burnt paw pads and belly, that vets believe were untreated for months.

Victim of abuse: London the pit bull had its front legs amputated after suffering torture and abuse from Zachary Hinton and Sarah Anderson. The dog is now fitted with a custom dog wheelchair to move around in

It was thought that London had fallen from a high window but witnesses said the male dog’s owners had been slammed to the floor as punishment for chewing on a sofa, King5.com reported.

Vets considered the injuries so severe they did not expect London to survive when dropped off at a humane society branch in Crescent City, California, in July.

The pit bull was put into the care of the Vancouver-based Animal Care Clinic and Dr Brandon Sherman, who will testify at tomorrow’s trial.

Dr. Sherman, who performed surgery on London to save his life last August, will bring the dog into the court as he gives evidence against Zachary Hinton and Sarah Anderson.

On trial: Sarah Anderson (pictured left), and Zachary Hinton (right), both 20, are accused of animal cruelty and torture, they face three years and a $20,000 fine per count of abuse

New wheels: Mechanics from a Northwest company called MotoCorsa made London a Ducati-inspired custom dog wheelchair

Courts usually only allow service dogs into court, but jurors in the trial will see for themselves the injuries London had suffered.

Prosecutors say Anderson and Hinton were fully responsible for the injuries to the dog, named London in salute to the competitors of summer Olympics in London.

Dr Sherman decided the dog’s only chance of survival was to have both legs amputated.

After the operation London was cared for by Amanda Giese from the Panda Paws Rescue in Vancouver, Washington.

Amanda said London’s demeanor after surgery was immediate.

‘You could see relief in him. There was no doubt in my mind we made the right decision,’ she said.

Out of harms way: The pitbull hasn’t slowed down since being fitted with its wheelchair and is now a happy and healthy pitbull

‘His face softened from before surgery. Before, he had this very painful, tight, stone look on his face. After surgery he had a soft puppy smile.

‘The clouds lifted. He was happy… he wasn’t in pain anymore. He wanted to go play, he wanted to run,’ she said.

Mechanics from a Northwest company called MotoCorsa made London a Ducati-inspired custom dog wheelchair and the pit bull hasn’t slowed down since.

If convicted, Hinton and Anderson each face three years and a $20,000 fine per count of animal abuse, neglect, and torture.

Amanda says she hopes the two are sentenced to the maximum term and ordered to pay the maximum fine.

Mother and daughters starved Staffordshire bull terrier until it was so hungry it ate its own bed

RSPCA inspector could see the animal’s hips, ribs and spine protruding

Dog called Akita was caged in a room surrounded by its own faeces

The dog digested its bed which was made of plastic

A mother and her two daughters starved a Staffordshire bull terrier until it was so hungry it was forced to eat its own bed.

Diane Martin, 55, Amy Martin, 21, and Chloe Martin, 22, kept the dog, Akita, caged in a room surrounded by its own faeces.

The dog was discovered emaciated and with overgrown claws in September last year by the RSPCA.

A mother and her two daughters starved a Staffordshire bull terrier, pictured, until it was so hungry it started to eat its own bed. Pictured is the caged room where the dog was kept and the bed made of plastic which has been bitten into

It had been digesting its own bed – which was made of plastic – and plastic was found to be in its faeces.

Inspector Virgina Ross visited the family home in Tottenham, north London, to check on the pet’s condition.

She found a baby gate had been placed across the door of the room to prevent the dog from escaping from the foul-smelling room.

Ms Ross could see the animal’s hips, ribs and spine protruding from underneath its fur, Highbury Corner Magistrates heard.

An RSPCA inspector discovered Akita, pictured, emaciated and with overgrown claws in September last year

Prosecutor Mark Jones said: ‘It was frantic to get out of the room. There was child gate across the door which the dog was trying to climb over.’

He added that there was a soiled bed for the dog in the middle of the room which was covered in faeces, and that there was no clean space for the animal to get some respite.

Chloe told the inspector that Akita had belonged to her sister’s ex-boyfriend and that he had left it with them.

She admitted that she had been concerned about the conditions it was being kept in, saying: ‘I wouldn’t like to live like that.’

Mr Jones said the intention had been to sell the animal which had been looked after before Amy and her boyfriend split up.

The defendants then ‘turned a blind eye’ to Akita’s care and neglected her for a month until she was taken away by Ms Ross on September 18.

A forensic veterinary surgeon examined the dog and found that she weighed just 5.7kg – almost half her normal body weight.

He added that the dog was so desperate to find food that it had started trying to digest her bed.

Mr Jones said: ‘Whilst at the surgery the animal was passing plastic in its faeces.

‘What the vet is saying is that this dog was eating abnormal matter. It is a common finding in dogs that have been deprived an adequate diet and were so hungry they would eat anything.

‘It doesn’t get any worse than that.’

He added: ‘Quite frankly, if left any longer the dog might have died.’

By November last year, Akita’s body weight had increased to 10.65 kilos and she has a new owner.

Sisters: Amy Martin, left, and Chloe Martin, right, who both had a duty to care for the dog

Amy Martin, pictured, ‘purposefully treated the dog in an appalling way while she looked after another dog’

Addressing Amy Martin, chair of the bench Anita Morgan said: ‘We find in this that you were the most culpable.

‘This was a dog that was left in your care, but you were already a dog owner, so you understand about dogs.

‘You purposefully treated this dog in an appalling way while looking after another dog.’

Ms Morgan told Chloe and Diane Martin that although they also had a duty to care for Aikita, the bench did not feel they had been primarily responsible.

Amy was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment, suspended for a year, and ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.

She was also banned from owning or keeping a dog for five years.

Chloe, who is four months pregnant, was given a 12 month community order and made subject to an 8pm to 6am electronically monitored curfew for eight weeks.

Their mother was given a 12 month community order and ordered carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

The mother and daughters,from Tottenham, each admitted one count of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal, and two of failing to fulfil the duties of a person responsible for an animal’s welfare.

They were each also ordered to pay £100 each towards court costs.

Zoo to run out of food in 48 hours threatening animals with starvation as Italy’s financial crisis hits

Hundreds of exotic animals at Naples zoo are facing starvation, as keepers declare a state of emergency with food supplies set to run out in 48 hours.

Zoo keepers at the compound in the southern Italian city, said within two days hay, fruit and all other food will be finished, leaving the 300 tigers, giraffes, elephants and other animals, high and dry.

Italy’s dwindling economy has hit the once-famous zoo hard, leading its managers to declare bankruptcy in 2011.

Naples Zoo is just two days away from closing if no new financial backer can be found

Emergency administrators stepped in to care for the animals but their tenure is set to end on January 31.

More…

Now if funds for more food are not found within 48 hours, the zoo’s prize exhibits including big cats and other rare exotic animals will starve to death, keepers said.

If funds for more food are not found within 48 hours, the zoo’s prize exhibits including big cats could starve to death

The 70 staff will also be made redundant, if there are no new owners by Wednesday, he said.

Investment company Clear Leisure has made an offer to buy the company but the bankruptcy court have not so far approved the offer. Previous offers have failed to meet the criteria.

A union representative told the Italian news agency ANSA: ‘There are only a few days left for both us and the animals. We would like to know why it has got to this point and mostly, what is going to be done,’

‘If no solution is found, we are going to be thrown out and the animals will die of hunger’.

Residents of the zoo include leopards, brown bears, elephants, zebras, ostriches, antelopes and tigers, as well as a petting zoo containing farm animals.

Among its scientific achievements are the first birth in captivity of the saltarupe Oreotragus oreotragus vulture. It was also the keeper of the first Italian antelope, giraffe, and first black rhinoceros in Europe.

The zoo, which opened in 1949, was run alongside Italy’s oldest themepark, originally created as Naples’ answer to Disneyland.

In its heyday of the 1970s Edenlandia was considered the best in the country. It also includes a greyhound track and outdoor cinema.

I am Truly Angry and Disgusted with this Kind of Cruelty

I would Support Public Flogging and Capital Punishment for this Kind of Evil
Cruelty to Animals

Do Gooders always Care More about the Human Rights of Scum than their Victims

This Evil Mess of a World Needs Sorting Out Now Not Never

Perhaps the Italian Government as a Gesture of Kindness and Decency
could give Money For Food Supplies for the Zoo Animals in Naples

These are the Soulless ones… indigenous tribes of the America’s or Africa would have spotted them early and taken them out hunting very deep into the forest.

NigelJanuary 22, 2013 @ 5:59 pm

Any (supposedly) sentient being that chooses to put another living creature through abject torture doesn’t deserve to live in my opinion, at the very minimum they must not be allowed to have children or pets.

Those complicit in the abuse of animals are in the exact same league as those complicit in the abuse of children. Utter fucking filth that needs to be removed from the face of the planet.

Jimbo1January 22, 2013 @ 7:36 pm

Glad to see that you make a noise about these cretins Spivey. I can’t stand any form of cruelty to any animals whatsoever and those committing this crime always get off far too lightly. One other form of terrible cruelty is that of Halal Ritual Slaughter, which, of course is legal in this Country and with more Halal slaughter Houses being opened in Britain only increases the cruelty, this being legal only makes other cruelty crimes against animals less serious as they are frightened that to give out severe penalties will only have a reposte of what about Halal slaughter and it is legal ! The RSPCA will never get another donation from me until they obtain some testicular fortitude and take action against this terrible crime against animals. Those not sure about Halal look it up on Youtube and be warned it is not for the squeamish if you are an animal lover.

martinJanuary 23, 2013 @ 5:08 pm

We must stop all cruelty against animals…..all!

fungasdabogeymanJanuary 23, 2013 @ 7:52 pm

Christ above! This makes me all sorts of ill. I have a beautiful Staffordshire and regardless of the looks i get and the general looks of fear when on a walk, let me tell you now there is no more love in any creature on this earth. He has grown up with my kids from birth and the affection he shows them is unreal. When he ends his time here part of me will be gone too.

HUMANS HAVE MUCH TO LEARN FROM DOGS!!!! We are the ones with problems, lacking more and more empathy with each passing day.

Spot on mate.

Chris.

fungasdabogeymanJanuary 23, 2013 @ 7:57 pm

And to agree with the above which i forgot to add due to my vent, ALL animals deserve our respect! You wouldnt go up to a bloke in the street and poke him in the eye (unless it was a fucking politician or banker) so teach your kids not to do it to a dog in the street. Getting kids to respect animals and their environment will go a long way stopping people get bit.

Don’t the Italians have a Gypsy problem? Hungry lions and tigers…. lots of gypsies…. Hmmmm.

Hi Chris!

I know that there are very strong links made between abuse of animals leading to murder and paedophilia in particular. Had a quick look on line to see if I could get some facts and found the following, as horrific as I found it to read I admit to having a wee snigger at the name of the “operation” to investiage! Very interesting read! I also believe that there was strong evidence that Jamie Bulger’s murderers regularly tortured animals.
Paedophiles linked to horse-ripper attacks
“One of the most dangerous things that can happen to a child is to kill or torture an animal and get away with it.”
– Anthropologist Margaret Mead

PSYCHIATRISTS have established a link between paedophiles and the growing number of unexplained attacks on horses, which often involve sexual mutilation. German scientists are to carry out the first full-scale study into the attacks, which have baffled police and animal protection groups for more than a decade.
The breakthrough has come after one of the first convictions in Germany for “horse-ripping”, which has enabled psychiatrists to analyse the attacker’s motivation. The convicted man had a history of abusing children. Similar lines of inquiry have not been possible in Britain, because no one has yet been convicted for attacking horses in this way. The three-year study is being backed by the British arm of the International League for the Protection of Horses, which hopes it will help secure convictions in this country.
The paedophile theory is also to be discussed at the first conference on horse mutilation, in Germany next month. The conference will be attended by psychologists and police involved in tracking horse-attackers. “Horse-ripping” was the subject of Peter Shaffer’s play Equus, in which a boy called Alan is examined by a psychiatrist to discover why he uses an iron spike to put out the eyes of the horses he loves.
In Britain, police and animal experts have blamed fertility cults, rival horse owners and sadists for the attacks. The worst spate was between 1983 and 1993, when more than 160 horses were stabbed and sexually mutilated. The worst-affected county was Hampshire although attacks were also reported in Humberside, Yorkshire and parts of Scotland. Hampshire police launched “Operation Mountbatten”, after scores of attacks, but it was shut down 18 months later without anyone being charged. The Metropolitan Police also set up an equine crime unit but this was disbanded in 1996 because of a lack of funds.
Alexandra Schedel-Stuppich, a biologist and a horse-breeder, is to carry out the research into the mutilations with the help of a psychologist and German police. In Germany, the attacks are on epidemic levels with more than 300 crimes and 89 horse deaths since 1992. “There has been little research because it is a taboo subject,” said Ms Schedel-Stuppich. “We were lucky in that we were able in this case to catch up with one of the people involved in these attacks and we could research his history. “He had been an abuser of children and had a sexual motive for abusing horses. Little girls give a lot of love to horses and there is therefore a psychological connection with children. Paedophiles thrive on that tenderness shown by children and animals but there is also a sadistic side in that it gives them power. It’s time we got the experts at one table to tackle the problem.”
One speaker at the conference is expected to be Ted Barnes, a member of the Metropolitan Police Equine Unit for 10 years. Mr Barnes, now a field officer for the ILPH, is convinced there is a link between paedophilia and attacks on horses. “There are so many similarities between the two crimes,” he said. “Horses and children are beautiful and vulnerable. Both are innocent, cannot consent and have a special trust with adult humans. “I’ve had a couple of instances as well where people have gone on from mutilating horses to abusing children.” His efforts to trap the horse mutilators have been frustrated by a lack of information about the attackers. He wants police in Britain to follow the example of their German counterparts and refer cases to the ILPH after investigation. “There has never been a central point for information to be collated,” he said. “That is a crucial mistake and it is why we know so little. “It is a very difficult crime to investigate because of the sexual taboo. It’s not the sort of thing people would brag about to their mates down the pub. “I thought it would take up to two years to solve these attacks. It’s now looking like it will take at least five years.” A spokeswoman for the ILPH said the research project is welcomed by horse owners and animal protection groups. “It’s just a pity it’s not been done before in this country,” she added. “We will be closely watching what the Germans come up with and if a link can be established with paedophilia then it will help police over here to tackle the crime and put a stop to it.”
Taken from The Independent (London)

Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz and Jeffrey Dahmer have more in common than just being serial killers. These three murderers are also connected by the fact that each of them tortured and/or killed animals during their childhoods. “Researchers as well as FBI and other law enforcement agencies nationwide have linked animal cruelty to domestic violence, child abuse, serial killings and to the recent rash of killings by school age children”, says Dr. Randall Lockwood (vice president of training and initiatives for the Humane Society of the United States.

Some children are cruel to and torture animals to impress their peers, but future serial killers usually torture animals purely for their own enjoyment. Animal abuse is a recognized sign of a mental disorder. If a child hurts animals it should be a red flag and immediate action should be taken. While there are many factors that contribute to someone becoming a serial killer, the one constant they share is animal abuse.

Jeffrey Dahmer showed an intense interest in dismembering animals as a child. As an adult he was charged with murdering and dismembering at least sixteen people. Dahmer is just one example of this. As a matter of fact, most people who are on death row for murder admit to abusing animals as children. A study done by North Eastern University and the Massachusetts SPCA found that people who abuse animals are five times more likely to abuse humans than people who do not. Albert Schweitzer said it best when the wrote that “Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives”.

Take care my friend!

“In regard to the third story about an Italian Zoo that can’t afford to feed its animals any more; If it does come to the crunch, then I am sure that the Animals will be found homes in other Zoo’s. Or at least I hope they fucking will. However, once again, we have only ourselves to blame for letting the Banksters drive our countries into poverty. The UK is not far behind Italy, Greece and the other EU Countries facing financial meltdown”

If this happens here in England at LONDON ZOO. I will personally go free ALL those animals and hope they go attack and eat those F*cking politicians…..

steveFebruary 18, 2013 @ 5:56 am

i love animals as well.
i have three beautiful little ferrets!

as humanity becomes more and more corrupted,
we may have to look to the animal world,
to refind out what humanity, and unconditional love is

i also agree with the ‘like for like’ sentiment.
how can anyone walk around happy,
when they are starving an animal in the house they live in?

VERY ANGRYFebruary 18, 2013 @ 11:47 am

Steve, well said, animals are definately superior to us stupid humans, I would rather have a houseful of them, than so called “friends”…………………

Following Hillside’s Staffordshire farm animal investigation, where Trading Standards acted to help animals on the farm, who were existing, and dying, in attrocious conditions, only after Hillside supporters inundated them with complaints about their lack of action, we urge you to sign our PETITION LETTER. The petition on the link below is asking Karen Bradley, MP for Staffordshire Moorlands where the farm is located, to fully investigate why Trading Standards left the animals to suffer for over two months after it was first reported to them.
Please sign the petition here: http://eepurl.com/zYBAr

Many of you have already contacted Trading Standards with excellently worded emails and may like to reinforce the PETITION LETTER with your own letter/email to Karen Bradley in order to really press home the issue.
